Some editors support editing remote files. Emacs and TRAMP (<http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Overview>) does this perfectly well. BBEdit 10 also does it (<http://www.andre-aulich.de/en/perm/edit-remote-files-using-y...). That editor is completely underrated.

Vim supports remote editing too, with netrw: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/pi_netrw.html
